Klaus Frank<p>Anyone by change needing a <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/pcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pcb</span></a> from <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/JLCPCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JLCPCB</span></a> with either C3322939 (2x10 Pin socket P=2.54mm)) or C598603 (2x10 Pin Header P=2.54mm)?</p><p>JLCPCB didn't have these (nor similar) Parts in stock, Because of MOQ I'll end up with some spare parts::<br>2x C3322939<br>6x C598603</p><p>It's my first time ordering from JLCPCB but if I understood their terms correctly then they won't offer to ship these parts to me, but only keep them in a dedicated inventory for me for future PCBA orders</p>
Tod Kurt (todbot)<p>Helpful JLCPCB tariff faq. Incredibly depressing.

Graham Sutherland / Polynomial<p>made a new release of my JLCPCB Altium libraries.</p><p>this new release contains 55451 resistors, 15361 capacitors, 5047 inductors, and a brand new addition: 2384 ferrite beads.</p><p>I also fixed an issue where inductors had their category labelled incorrectly and their inductance erroneously listed in the capacitance field.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/gsuberland/altium_jlcpcb_libraries" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/gsuberland/altium_j</span><span class="invisible">lcpcb_libraries</span></a></p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/jlcpcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jlcpcb</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/altium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>altium</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a></p>

Andy Warburton ❌❌❌<p>They said this wouldn’t work but it bloody well does! Just three more digits to solder up (161 individual LEDs!) and I’ll have a clock! </p><p>I’m so glad it does work though because I ordered two hundred of these pcbs 😂</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/maker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>maker</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pcb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jlcpcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jlcpcb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/wled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wled</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/rgb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>rgb</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/neopixels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>neopixels</span></a></p>
RC2014<p>Yay! Happy <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/JLCPCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JLCPCB</span></a> Day to all those that celebrate!</p><p>Now to fire up the soldering iron and find out what I did wrong this time!</p>
RC2014<p>I don't get excited about Christmas. However, on days like today when I know that two big boxes with <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/JLCPCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JLCPCB</span></a> stamped on them will be arriving, I can imagine the excitement that some people get in December. Even though I know what <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RC2014" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RC2014</span></a> stuff is going to be inside, I can't help but keep looking out the window for the UPS truck!</p>
RevK :verified_r:<p>FFS <a href="https://toot.me.uk/tags/JLCPCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JLCPCB</span></a>, really, that is some shit silkscreen printing.</p>
Chris Burton<p>Nice to see <a href="https://widget.uk/tags/JLCPCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JLCPCB</span></a> going above and beyond sealing a desiccant pack on it's own to keep it safe (cut from a PCB order) 🤣 .</p>
Graham Sutherland / Polynomial<p>I made a script that extracts multilayer board stackups from JLCPCB's API, for every layer count, board thickness, and copper weight option.</p><p>it translates the raw API data into a clean normalised JSON format, and also into Altium stackup files. the normalised JSON should be easy to consume if you want to build stackups for other EDA tools.</p><p>everything is pretty well documented, so it should be easy to modify and update to your needs.</p><p><a href="https://github.com/gsuberland/jlcpcb_altium_stackups" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/gsuberland/jlcpcb_a</span><span class="invisible">ltium_stackups</span></a></p><p><a href="https://chaos.social/tags/jlcpcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jlcpcb</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/altium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>altium</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/pcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pcb</span></a> <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>electronics</span></a></p>
RevK :verified_r:<p>The new (free) marking from <a href="https://toot.me.uk/tags/JLCPCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JLCPCB</span></a> looks not bad.</p><p>These are the new version, so selling the screw terminal ones cheap.</p><p>These have WAGO contacts, and a microphone for sound reactive.</p>
RevK :verified_r:<p>Arg, <a href="https://toot.me.uk/tags/JLCPCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JLCPCB</span></a> are being especially thick.</p><p>They have an error on artwork on preview when ordering, showing a capacitor rotated 180.</p><p>They don't seem to understand they need to fix it.</p><p>They say check the DFM, but that is later, and means getting it wrong when I upload an order.</p>
RevK :verified_r:<p>One of the niggles I have with <a href="https://toot.me.uk/tags/JLCPCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JLCPCB</span></a> is them stalling an order with a silly question.</p><p>A question about a feature on a footprint I have used literally hundreds of times over years.</p><p>Like the latest, the holes for the USB-C connector have no solder mask on the back of the board. This is because they do not get close to going all the way through the board.</p><p>Every design I have done is like this and works well.</p><p>Suddenly they query it.</p><p>...</p>
DG1JAN :mastodon:<p>Today was my favorite day, it was <a href="https://radiosocial.de/tags/jlcpcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jlcpcb</span></a> Delivery day 😊 new variant of the xOTA Antenna is in test.</p>
RevK :verified_r:<p>Not sure I like screw terminals, but probably cheapest option for this (LED strip controller).</p><p>I think the <a href="https://toot.me.uk/tags/KiCAD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KiCAD</span></a> export tool has changed how it sends parts co-ordinates to the export for <a href="https://toot.me.uk/tags/JLCPCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JLCPCB</span></a>. Driving me round the bend.</p>
arturo182<p>Has anyone used <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/JLCPCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JLCPCB</span></a> assembly service with some components skipped? Does the paste still get applied to those pads, or does JLC remove those openings from the stencil? If not, I can do it myself, just curious 🙂</p>
cpresser<p>There is just to many emails to update this thread.</p><p>So far there are 18 mails from <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/JLCPCB" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JLCPCB</span></a> in my inbox.<br>I send 9 answers.</p><p>Also, I used their chat to clarify some things. While it is tedious to make sure all the 'errors' are actually produced the way they are designed, the communication works quite well. The support is responsive, friendly and competent.</p>
arturo182<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/jlcpcb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jlcpcb</span></a> has now officially announced the multi-color silkscreen service.</p><p>I've had access to it for about a week and have been working on a <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@kicad" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>kicad</span></a></span> plugin. It almost kinda works now 😁</p>
